I had leftover dough when making pizza, so I decided to make some parmesan breadsticks. They're fun for entertaining and easy to make. I did have some trouble keeping the bread from unraveling after twisting them, but in the end, I think they turned out okay.

Ingredients:- Pizza dough (you can use store bought or this recipe)- Parmesan cheese- Garlic powder- Oregano or parsley or other herbs- Salt- Oil

Directions:- Roll out the pizza dough into a rectangle. If you have trouble rolling it out because it keeps bouncing back, let the dough rest 10-15 minutes and try again.- Sprinkle parmesan cheese, garlic powder, herbs, and salt to taste on the bottom half of the rectangle.- Fold the top half of dough over the part with the filling and using a knife or pizza cutter, cut it into ~3/4" strips.- Twist each strip and place it on a lined baking sheet.- Let them rest for about 20 minutes.- Brush them with oil.- Put them into a 400 degree oven for about 15-20 minutes or until they're golden brown.
